Community Supported Agriculture is a weekly vegetable subscription program that connects customers directly to their local farmer. Each week, you'll receive a box of 5 to 7 seasonal vegetables – the best and freshest of what's available on the farm.
Being a part of a CSA is a powerful way to support your farmer. Because CSA customers commit to a full season, CSAs provide small farmers with financial security while also guaranteeing customers a fresh supply of local veggies every week. It’s a life-changing way to eat seasonally and support your local Jewish farmer!

FAQs
Why sign up now for next spring?
1. We rely on a certain percentage of early sign-ups to get us through the winter - to pay Meredith and Molly year round, to make crucial supply orders in December for the seeds, potting soil, and compost we need to prepare for next spring, and to plan our budget for next year. Early sign-ups are an especially impactful way to support our small farm business.
2. We expect to fill up next year - secure your spot now before the spring rush!
3. Signing up early is a gift to your future self ❤️ Lock it in now, pay for it, forget about it, and enjoy the veggies come spring!
Do I have to be Jewish to join?
No, you do not have to be Jewish to join! Our CSA is open to everyone! In fact - as a small farm run by two queer Jewish women in rural NC - having support within AND outside of our Jewish community is incredibly meaningful to us. All you need is a desire to receive gorgeous vegetables and an interest in learning more about Jewish holidays and traditions through the lens of farming.
What kinds of vegetables will I get?
Each week, you’ll receive the freshest vegetables in season. We grow a huge variety of vegetables and work hard to switch things up each week! You can expect a variety of 5-7 veggies in each box.
Do you offer a smaller share? It's just me in my house!
We offer a weekly share and an every *other* week share - both are the same size, 5-7 veggies per box. Because our veggies are freshly harvested and handled carefully, they last a LONG time in the fridge!
Are your vegetables organic?
While we are not certified organic, we follow organic guidelines in all of our growing practices. Every decision we make is based on the health of our customers and the soil we grow in
Can I pay in installments?
Yes! When you purchase your share, you can choose to pay in 4 consecutive monthly installments ($245/mo full share or $122.50/mo half share), or choose our 10 month payment plan ($90/mo full share or $40/mo half share).
What if I go out of town and have to miss a box?
If you need to miss a week of CSA pickup, you can have a friend pick it up for you, or we’ll donate your box for you to a family in need.
